Could pedometer steps make good currency?

[cochranizer666]

I just thought of a crazy idea now that Bitwalking doesn't seem to be popular in the US and Burningman went short.

So, what if the steps themselves were a type of offline, Bluetooth-transferable coin? For example, Jogger A has a watch full of 53,453 total steps. Jogger B only has 2,536, but wants to sell his iPod to Jogger A for 39,000 steps. The Bluetooth transfer is made, and now Jogger A's watch says 14,453 steps, while Jogger B's watch says 41,536.

Any questions?

Interesting concept.  You can't create value out of nothing, but a step requires something.

I like this world.  Lower health care costs, more attractive women...

A very cool concept, but what's to prevent some lazy ass like me from just shaking the damn pedometer all day long?

A cool invention called GPS.  

Besides, shaking your arm enough to trigger a "step" also burns calories and is not created from nothing!

This is similar to the old mangocoinz mobile mining where you earn coins with every move/step you make. It's a good concept but can easily be exploited.

Well, I do admit that everyone likes to be lazy...which is why I came up with THIS idea:

You know how stopwatches work, right? Well, Imagine a stopwatch where you can spend the time generated by the stopwatch. For example, you can buy a pizza for 0:39:59 and the new Metallica CD for 0:59:59. Everyone can just sit on their ass and get rich that way LOL

then your entrepreneurial shortcut will be rewarded. people could strap it to their cat or a passing dog or cycle courier.

what about heartbeats or bowel movements? everyone does that.

Seriously look around for the other topic on this.
Some guy already had a big thing going on for this and i can't recall if he made it.

And Gamow.. you bastard legendary at 868 ? Why did i have to wait till 1100 ?
